While you may not consider fire alarm design when choosing a system to protect your business and its occupants, design plays a crucial role in how well your building, property, and employees are protected. It’s easy to assume that you simply go out and “buy” a fire alarm system to safeguard your property, but protecting your premises involves more than that.
To put it simply, you should consider having a licensed professional design a system that is suitable for your particular needs; building size and structure are two factors that come in to play and are extremely important in designing an effective alarm. By having a system designed according to the particular specifications of your business, you will enjoy peace of mind knowing that you have maximum safety and efficiency should a fire occur.
Fire alarm design can be complex
Think of your home; would a multi-story building where dozens of people work require the same fire alarm design as that of your home? Of course not. The design of a system is undertaken by an engineer, who takes in to account many factors including how many levels are in the building, its composition, where heat sources are located and how many exits there are along with the location of those exits.
For larger public buildings, design often includes supplemental fire safety features such as communication devices and sprinkler systems. Engineers work to design a fire alarm system that will provide the ultimate protection for your property, inventory, and employees based upon the factors mentioned above. Inspection of the property is performed so that the engineer can determine where alarms should be located, where wiring may be required and other possible electrical needs that should be integrated into the designing of the alarm.
Another aspect of proper fire alarm design is determining if existing wiring is up to code and whether the system will be connected directly to the fire department or company where the alarm system was purchased. It is imperative that in the event of a fire or smoke, authorities are notified promptly in order to minimize the potential damage and save lives.
As you can see, fire alarm design encompasses far more than having a few smoke detectors installed. To ensure your business and its occupants are protected to the highest degree, consider the importance of fire alarm design. In cities like New York City where high-rise buildings and skyscrapers are the norms, take no chances when it comes to your business, property, and occupants. The right design could save your livelihood and the lives of your staff.
Expert fire alarm repair should not be taken lightly; while it may seem more cost effective to hire a “Jack of all trades” or do it yourself, why risk the safety of your property – not to mention lives?
